The snatch saga continues....

I've been training toward rank II through USA Kettlebell Lifting, which requires 53 snatches per arm with the 24k/53lb. kettlebell at my bodyweight (175). I'm up to 45 per arm, so only 16 more reps, and I make rank. The 24k is much more demanding than the 20k/44lb. kettlebell. Not only does it require more conditioning, but the technique must be right on, or the kettlebell goes where it wants to. This is making me dig deep, which is great. This is why I train with kettlebells- to get "strength from the inside out", as Nico Rithner says!
